On the day that I shot these photographs, I challenged myself. It was a dull, damp, dank, gray day and I wanted to see if I could go and possibly find something nice to take a picture of, despite the weather. The sky wasn't interesting. The trees weren't interesting. However, the grass I was standing on had little droplets of water, fore it was sprinkeling. I got down low and took this photograph. In iPhoto, I made it black and white, increased the contrast and sharpness, and blurred the edges to try to give the viewer a feeling of dampness, like the weather on that day. Furthermore, the blurred edges make the very crisp and clear water droplets on the middle clover stand out. After taking this photograph on that day, I've never let the weather get in my way from hunting for beautiful subjects.

Sharing Photos


Each week a couple of students will be assigned to send me an image along with an artist's statement. I will upload the images on a weekly basis to share with our on-line friends.
